SMOKING STAND.

Application filed llaroh 2 ,1922. Serial No. 178,593.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in smoking stands and aims to provide an article of this character that is equipped with means at its top Wall to 8 permit the cigar and cigarette ashes and butts to be conveyed to a sliding compartment suitably mounted beneath the bottom wall of the stand.

A further and important object is to provide a smoking stand of this character Wherein there is provided an upper sliding drawer for holding cigars, cigarettes, matches and the like, this drawer being so constructed as to permit the free sliding of the same to open or closed position, notwithstanding the presence of the means for conveying the ashes'and cigar and cigarette butts to the receiving drawer at the bottom of the stand,

With the foregoing and other objects in view as the nature of the invention will be better understood, the same comprises the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawing and claimed.

In the drawing wherein like reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views:

Figure 1 is a detail longitudinal section through a generally conventional design of smoking stand constructed in accordance with the present invention.

Figure 2 is a perspective of the upper sliding drawer of the stand for receiving cigars, matches, smoking pipes and the like.

Figure 3 is a mouth end perspective of the tube for conveying the ashes and cigar and cigarette butts and the like from the top of the stand to a lower sliding receiving drawer, and

Figure 4 is a fragmentary vertical section taken substantially upon the line 4-4 of Figure 1 for disclosing one means whereby the lower drawer may be slidably mounted beneath the bottom wall of the stand.

Now having particular reference to the drawing my novel stand which as previously stated is of generally conventional design consists of the usual upper and lower horizontal walls 5 and 6 interconnected at their corners by the usual supporting legs 7. In this type of stand proper there is provided between the adjacent side legs and at the upper ends thereof a wall 8 formed centrally with a vertically extending neck 9, while connecting the neck portions of these walls is a cross bar 10 for serving as a carrying handle.

Slidably arranged beneath the bottom wall 6 of the stand in an suitable manner such as that suggested in F igure 4 is a drawer 11 for receiving ashes, cigar and cigarette butts and other trash. The top wall 5 is formed centrally with a circular opening 12 having a beveled edge as indicated in Figure l and within which is rigidly arranged the upper flared end 13 of a vertrcally arranged pipe 14 that is secured at its lower end within a central opening in the bottom wall 6 of the stand so that ashes, cigars and the like dropped in the upper end of the pipe will be conveyed downwardly into the drawer 11. The upper flared end 13 of this pipe 14 may be and preferably is formed at its inner side with a skirt 15 in spaced relation with the interior ofithe flared end of the pipe so as to prevent the passage of the ashes or other trash through this end of the pipe should the stand be accidentally knocked over.

Slidably mounted beneath the top wall 5 in any suitable manner is a drawer 16 of general U-formation in plan so as to provide a central channel 17 opening at the rear end thereof as to permit the drawer to freely move even in view of the presence of the pipe 14, it being obvious that this pipe will be received within the channel 17 when the drawer is in partially or fully closed position.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is In a smoking stand including horizontal upper and lower spaced Walls, and interconneetmg supporting legs, the top Wall being formed with an enlarged central opening, the edge of which is beveled, the bottom wall being formed with a central smaller opening, a refuse receptacle slidably arranged beneath the bottom wall, a refuse pipe arranged vertically, the lower end of said pipe extending into the opening formed in the bottom wall of the stand, the upper end of the pipe being flared for disposition in the enlarged central opening in the top wall of the stand, and a relativel U-shaped drawer slidably mounted beneat the top wall, the side forming arm portions of said U-shaped drawer being disposed on opposite sides of the refuse pipe.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
